Ice hockey is a thrilling, fast-paced sport with numerous betting opportunities. Here’s a quick guide to get you started:
Bet on which team you think will win the match. Simple and straightforward, this is the most common type of ice hockey bet.
Also known as handicap betting, this involves giving one team a goals advantage to level the playing field. It provides better odds, especially when there is a clear favourite.
Select the team you believe will win, considering the goals handicap. The favourite gets a goals handicap (e.g., -1.5), while the underdog gets a goals advantage (e.g., +1.5).
If the line is set at -1.5 for the Toronto Maple Leafs against the Montreal Canadiens, The Leafs needs to win by at least 2 goals for the bet to win. Conversely, if you bet on the Canadiens with a +1.5 handicap, they can lose by up to 1 goal, or win outright, and your bet will still be successful.
Bet on the total number of goals scored in an ice hockey match.
If the totals line has been set at 5.5 goals, you can bet on whether the total score will be over or under this number.
Bet on which player will score the first goal of the match. Because this outcome is difficult to predict, this market offers good odds.
Bet on which player will score the most goals in the match.
Bet on long-term outcomes. Outrights offer the chance to make long-term predictions with potentially high payouts. They are ideal for punters who enjoy following season-long narratives. Here are some outcomes in ice hockey that you can bet on with Unibet:
